CASA Story #1: Josh Kelchner

Before Josh and his younger siblings were taken into foster care, Josh Kelchner played parent to his sisters and brother while his mother succumbed to drug and alcohol addictions. After the children were taken into foster care, Josh did everything he could to try to keep his family together. But it almost wasn't enough.

CASA Story #2: Dashun Jackson

As a boy, my three sisters and I suffered about every form of abuse you can imagine. When I was 13, we were all removed from our home. After that, I bounced around, from a children’s emergency shelter to an aunt’s house, then back to the shelter. Without knowledge or the power to speak up, I felt like a victim. A year and a half later, I met my CASA volunteer. And everything changed.
